Hornady 22 Cal 77gr HPBT AEROMATCH w/ Cannelure (Bulk / OEM)

The Hornady 22 Cal 77gr HPBT AEROMATCH w/ Cannelure (Bulk / OEM) is a high-precision bullet component for handloading, engineered to deliver match-grade performance across long-range AR-15 and .223 Rem/5.56 NATO platforms. As part of Hornady’s AEROMATCH™ series, this projectile features advanced manufacturing controls, a high ballistic coefficient, and a cleanly rolled cannelure—making it a top-tier choice for service rifle competitors, precision gas gun shooters, and high-volume reloaders.

Built with a jacketed hollow point boat tail (HPBT) design, this 77-grain bullet offers a G1 ballistic coefficient of .355 and a sectional density of 0.219. Its aerodynamic secant ogive and smooth boattail base reduce drag, resist wind deflection, and support flatter trajectories—all while maintaining consistent velocity across various load configurations. The added cannelure improves case neck grip and enhances reliability during magazine-fed cycling, particularly in semi-automatic platforms where feeding consistency is critical.

Hornady’s AMP^® (Advanced Manufacturing Process) jacket ensures exceptional concentricity and virtually no wall thickness variation. This uniform jacket construction contributes to tight shot dispersion and low standard deviations—performance metrics that serious reloaders demand. The bullet’s swaged lead core provides balance and stability in flight, especially when paired with fast-twist barrels (1:7″ or 1:8″) optimized for heavier .224 projectiles.

This bullet is intended solely for target and competition use. It is not lead-free and is designed for external ballistic performance rather than terminal expansion. Ideal applications include High Power Rifle, PRS gas gun division, long-range varmint competitions, or structured training with precision-configured AR-15s. The 77gr AEROMATCH™ performs reliably from standard magazine-length cartridges and excels in applications that require repeatable hits beyond 600 yards.

We repackage in-house from factory lots and offer this projectile in high-volume bulk formats, making it easier for competitors to stock up, train hard, and shoot more without compromise. Each repackaged batch preserves Hornady’s strict lot integrity, ensuring that reloaders get consistent performance at scale. For AR-platform shooters looking to optimize their precision loadout, the Hornady 77gr AEROMATCH™ HPBT with cannelure offers a perfect balance of ballistic performance and reloading value.
